Marquette Golden Eagles (official thread)

Marquette Mark and the Funky Bunch

I would've wrote it as "Funque Bunch", but it's still funny as hell...

 

[Misanthrope]

This thread makes me really glad I didn't go to Marquette. All of this hand-wringing over political correctness.

How about Golden Parachutes? That way, they could "offend" CEOs, and nobody would care.

 

[Fungo Squiggly]

The Marquette Goldenrod or even better....




The Marquette Golden Rod-Polishers

How about the Marquette Yobah Deebah Doobahs?

 

[smithlabs]

I was always tired of the injins getting all the praise for being brave and fierce. I like "The Fighting Rednecks" to honor our white trash breathren. Besides, it's kind of like the Wisconson version of Notre Dame.


How about the Jacque's after Father Jacques Marquette?

How about the Marquette Yobah Deebah Doobahs?

Seeing a moderator lick the boots of a senior moderator...priceless.

 

[BuckTwenty]

The Marquette Rabid Wombats
The Marquette Screamin' Meanies
The Marquette Mad Cows

How about the Jacque's after Father Jacques Marquette?

If they did, would they then make their players wear jacques straps?

 

[FCollinsBuckeye]

If 'Marquette Warriors' was so offensive, why don't they switch to 'Marquette Pacifists'?

Better yet: 'Marquette Milquetoasts'

 

[BuckeyeTillIDie]

Marquette Patriots

All around non-offensive and screaming American Pride

 

[osubartender23]

Marquette "Milkmaids"

Marquette "Magicians"

Heck if they are going to complain about nicknames so much they might as well pull a Prince and call themselves "The school formerly named Marquette".

 

[Misanthrope]

Marquette Marionettes - seems appropriate given the way the university shits its pants if someone doesn't like their nickname. From Warriors, to Golden Eagles to Gold to this nonsense...

 

[smithlabs]

Since they are a Catholic school I think they should try some fierce figures from Catholic days past like:
Crusaders
Teutonic Knights
or Inqusitors.

Nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition.

 

[Xevious]

They should just $ell out and have companies purchase the right to sponsor their mascot for a few years.

This could give them names like

Marquette Etrades
Marquette UPS
Marquette Value City
Marquette Dairy Queens

Heard part of a great ad a few days ago...

"Come to our Fuchsia Sale!"

"Fuchsia Sale? What was wrong with calling it a Memorial Day Sale?"

"We just felt it was a new era and a time for a change."

"What does Fuchsia have to do with selling furniture?"

"Nothing. Why do you ask?"

"Did you consult the public before making this decision?"

"Yes, and then we chose to ignore those polls."

Pretty good stuff. If I remembered what the ad was actually for, I might have checked it out. :p
